Page 86 of Confessions of the Dead

Maro:

What’s that?

Sordello:

His six other victims.

Maro:

I don’t know any of those names. If that’s true, they’re not locals.

Sordello:

Did Malcolm Mitchell ever mention living in Columbus, Ohio, to you?

Maro:

Columbus? No.

Sordello:

Same mask. Same MO. Six dead girls attributed to the same killer, four of whom were connected by DNA. One girl escaped, claimed her abductor kept talking to himself. Probably schizophrenic. If I were to take a sample from Malcolm Mitchell, do you think it would match?

Maro:

Unless he was traveling back and forth, I don’t see how. When were the Ohio girls taken?

Analysis Note: Sordello broke script here. She wasn’t supposed to mention the killings in Ohio. That’s probably why she backed off and changed the subject.
